Home away from Home.

Well,  here we are in our new home. We have just started to move boxes in since Friday of last week.  We have no furniture here except for our air mattress but, we thought we would give it a shot.  Almost like camping except we have a furnace, bathroom, a function kitchen and carpeting.   Nykie seems ambivalent but, as long as his Pappa and Daddy are there, along with his blanket and favorite toys, he is content.
We started renovations on Saturday.   Went out and bought paint,  anaglypta wallpaper (paintable), a new ceiling fan for the living room, and and bunch of supplies. On Sunday, wd began stripping wallpaper off. Wow what a horrible job. So much badly installed paper.
After a few hours of that, we welcomed our first visitors. Our good friends, Tony and Tyna Meier along with their two youngest daughters, Alex and Dominique.   We chatted for a bit while they ooohed and awwed over our new digs.
The next few weeks are going to be hectic but, well worth it.  I have one last show to do at the Metro – Murder on the Nile which runs until March16 and theni am done with shows for therest of the year. I will be devoting all my free time to making our home what we need it to be.
We have a lot to do here but, it is for us and not a landlord. Homeownership is all it is cracked up to be….
